Can't get this song out of my head. So haunting in it's tone and simplicity. One of Jack's best.

[@email3575]

he copied the song "Wurm" by Yes from 1971. Even in the same key.

[@Lepidopterous.]

@@email3575 damn you’re right lol

[@shirleyestupinan7017]

Definitely caught me unaware and hasn't let go! 😎

[@nz540im3]

Yea I love it. It’s haunting and hard to listen to though. Which makes it what it is I guess

[@gent_Carolina]

Have u heard his song _Fight for My Love_ or his live video of him singing _Jolene_ ? The latter is an entirely different style than I've seen it done b4, but capture the emotions so well that Dolly Parton was impressed! 😲

[@toobasaurus23]

Jack White is the only musician that I continue to be a fan of every time he reinvents his sound. He's just a badass blues wizard! Every jam is awesome!

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

One of the best jack white songs ever IMO. Incredible. I can listen to this daily

[@reginaprice2061]

I enjoyed watching Jack's shadow on the moon and the movement of the camera. Great job tech people!

[@jussayin2325]

"If I Die Tomorrow" sounds like a great Bond movie title track with way-off lyrics.

[@04279]

This is true. It has also a similar style as a current Bond theme song.

[@francescaa8331]

Does have a Bond ish energy.

[@badboyjjd]

Exactly wht I thought when I heard it

[@jamesgoines7663]

@@badboyjjd agreed. It must have been the second choice in case the other one was rejected.

[@13christbane]

first thing I thought

[@kamilman0]

I heard this song during the concert in Brussels! It was a phenomenal event! Jack White really is on a different level.

[@TheMydoorbell]

I was also there in Brussels but I was a little disappointed with his setlist which was not as attractive as other dates. Too many folk songs. He only played 3 songs from the white stripes ...

[@divinelyshpongled]

He is?? He sounds incredibly mediocre here.. singing isn’t great and the song is a bit ehhh. What’s impressive exactly? Genuinely curious

[@ashleystearns2486]

I find him very compelling as a musician and as an individual.

[@TheMydoorbell]

@@ashleystearns2486 Yes, that's right. But his best songs are behind him.

[@divinelyshpongled]

@@ashleystearns2486 yes but why? What is it about his music or anything else that is impressive etc?

[@vanessawhitneypro]

Pure Talent. Thank You, Jack... And, ALL musicians who work with you...

[@bliss149]

Daru Jones is the amazing drummer.

[@katmarieHTD4LIFE]

Lordy!!! Is there no heights that Jack can't reach??? Absolutely amazing performance! (As if Jack White could ever do anything w/o it being amazing?) Been a fan since 1997 and always will be! Keep on kicking the music industry on it's ear Jack!

[@Renee_ok_-_-]

I just recently survived a very serious depressive episode. This song hits even harder where it matters. I'll try not to die tomorrow ❤️ To my ❤️'s

It took me a few seconds to realize that was a physical "moon" behind him. I was thinking that the CGI elves were geniuses...then I just was impressed with the practical effects.

[@larissabrown9940]

Love it when Jack is on Colbert! Love them💙💙💙

[@quandotenhotempo]

Such a beautiful performance. My favorite song from his new album.

[@leavingitblank9363]

I find it interesting how Jack White manages to deliver hard rock music to a public that ordinarily doesn't consume that genre... and they like it! He's carved out a very unique niche for himself.

[@nz540im3]

And he’s shunned by some rock critics etc. some people say he can’t play guitar 😅 like his solos are weird and eccentric, that’s what I love

[@whiskerbiscuit6674]

The crowd is told to applause and cheer.

[@leavingitblank9363]

@@whiskerbiscuit6674 I wasn't talking about the studio audience.

[@leavingitblank9363]

@@nz540im3 Everything about him is weird and eccentric, which usually attracts an exclusive fan base, and yet his music makes it onto mainstream radio and is even picked up for commercial use. I don't know how he does that.

Once in a generation talent ✨️ 👌

[@matts.2959]

That's right.

[@wideawake5630]

I love this man!

[@kofinnuro]

It is nice to see Daru Jones and Dominic Davies sticking with him all these years.

[@frankisays2much]

Jack White has had a great evolution. Gen X teaching the kids what music feels like.

[@tammystockley-loughlin7680]

Nice job, Jack. Solidarity with the struggling. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times

[@josehuerta3964]

Keep up the music you guys are killing it with the artist selection.

[@michellebarnes6786]

This style of music brings me back to Lacledes Landing St. Louis , MO........Kennedy's in the early 90s , when Love, The Choice and New World Spirits throwing out Daisies rocked us with their alternative originals , I ❤️it!! ...... so talented 💋

[@drummaman513]

easily the best live performer this side of the mississip

[@justinmorris2740]

He never ceases to amaze, a true artist. A real renaissance man, he's so dedicated that he is excellent at everything he turns his hand to. Such an inspiration.

[@ecilarush7917]

Omg i just saw his gig in Paris this week. He was killing it!

[@faithfulcmm1972]

Really looking forward to when he comes to play in Milwaukee. Going to be first time I see him live and I know he will not disappoint. So much talent.

[@gmc8810]

He's definitely a chameleon . Jack can play any style of music and it's so good. 🔥

[@twice_bakedpotato]

adore him💙

I wish he woulda rode that solo a little longer...that was amazing LOL

[@barrysmith8920]

EXCELLENT performance, video, audio and that beautiful Mellotronish flute. 🌹

[@Truth_CA]

Jack white is a ARTIST. Up there with the Beatles, Kanye yes Kanye, red hot chili peppers, pink Floyd etc. Bands and artists who aren't afraid to switch up their style and absolutely KILL it in every aspect when they try something new that at times ppl hate cause it's "different" or like me love! Been a fan since middle school. Keep killing it!!

[@joeblough261]

Kanye is most overrated dude in history of music

Detecting some Bowie vibes here. I’m digging this one also ☝️💥✝️

[@Allagi22]

Jack really gets in his own way here as he has many times post The White Stripes. Take this same song, sing it alone, acoustic, No effects no BS no extra, people will like it more.

[@seanforbes3937]

Phenomenal song

This song makes me want Jack White to write a Bond opening credits song *EDIT* I’m an idiot. He did “Another way to die” with Alicia Keys for Quantum of Solace. I’m an idiot

[@kalosgun1252]

What a coincidence. I thought about JW the other day as I was working on something. The tips of my fingers on my left hand were sore and tender to the touch from hours of repetition. & it reminded me of a JW performance I saw on the tele. He was playing his guitar, so focused idk if he even noticed, and the fingers on his plectrum hand started bleeding. Just powered through it. I like that in a musician.

[@KW-Talent-Show]
